Just wondered what you all thought
My girl has only been backed recently and i have ridden her a handful of times, i need someone to stand and hold her by the mounting block as we have only got on there twice so its still very new to her (the guy who backed her could vault on).
Last night when i got to the yard, i was all set to ride, but there wasn't anyone around, i did think about seeing if I could get her to the block and get on by myself, but then was a little worried, as she is only newly backed about riding on my own with no one around. So i did a few bits and went home.
What would you have done, i don't want to be waiting around all the time for a little assistance, but am i being overly cautious by not riding her if there is no one at the yard?
OH was quite surprised to see me home only, and when i explained why i hadn't ridden he didn't seem to understand.
